About Ship’s Stern
Ship’s Stern is a sloping Bequia reef that shifts from colorful coral into sand partway down the slope. It is a current-aware drift dive with whip corals, gorgonians, and a lot of small reef structure to work through, so the best runs feel smooth rather than rushed. Divers who like a little flow get a rewarding route with lobsters, moray eels, grunts, and occasional bigger fish.
